An alcohol-free community is defined as a floor or building in which residents and visitors, regardless of their age, abstain from possessing alcohol. Exposing others in the area to secondary effects of such usage (e.g. noise, vandalism and messes resulting from the use of a substance) is also prohibited. Although violations of the College's alcohol policy are not allowed anywhere on campus and result in campus disciplinary action, a student in an alcohol-free community who possesses alcohol may incur additional consequences (such as fines and, in all likelihood, removal from the area). These areas are open to all students living in the residence halls.
